Today I'd also found a link to the Cuisenaire Rods manipulative on the NRich site, which is absolutely fantastic. I remember discovering a dusty old box of rods in the resource cupboard during my NQT year, digging them out and then not really doing anything relevant with them because I didn't have a) the time or b) the experience to work out how to use them without just confusing the pupils more. I'd always been determined to go back and check them out properly though, particularly with the links to the work I've been doing with algebra tiles.
I've spent quite a bit of time so far over half term working on the resource areas of my site - one topic I was keen to get a few more resources for was writing algebraic expressions and using correct algebraic notation, as I'm teaching this to Year 7 after half term and my collection was looking a little sparse.

Tripping the Life-Cam-tastic
A look at my new teaching and learning toy
First Complete Mathematics conference of the academic year - the best yet?
It's a marathon, not a sprint
I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about the importance of trust, so I thought I'd follow that up today with another tip for NQTs. It's something I need to keep working on myself, although I am getting better - last academic year, I hit the Autumn term exhaustion wall about three weeks before Christmas, as opposed to a week after October half term.
Set sensible routines and practices for things like marking and lesson planning
Something old, something new...
I'll admit to having to cheat a little bit on this challenge; this post is one of the few I had to write ahead of time and schedule to post later. I have a good excuse - I'm getting married today, and I imagine that, even though my fiance is very understanding about the amount of time and energy I put into teaching, even he would object if I blogged during our wedding day.
While I've been organising over the summer, I realised that my resource collection has grown exponentially again this year. I made the move to storing resources electronically this year, which has meant I'm drowning in far fewer bits of paper and it's much easier to find the worksheet I want than rifling through folders. Despite this, I still have my entire cupboard under the stairs full of bits and pieces that need transferring or updating - I think it's going to be an endless task.
Finding, developing and trying new resources is one of my favourite parts of teaching, which is one of the reasons I started the resources pages on my site - it's far easier to link to a page at home, then find that again at school, rather than email things to myself, which I then forget about the following year. As above, this project is still unfinished, but I hope to put a big dent in it over the next few weeks. But what makes a good resource?
And your starter for ten...
Starters can be a contentious issue; the term "starter" is a hangover from the days of three-part lessons in bite-size chunks, which seem to have fallen from vogue now. However, they are still a key part of my teaching, and today's SBPC looks at why.
In my mind, my lesson "starters" fall into three categories, and they're not mutually exclusive. Sometimes it's appropriate to have a couple of "starter" activities (I'm dropping the quote marks now because I'm irritating myself). I once had a lesson starter that went on for the entire lesson, as it became painfully apparent that the class had completely forgotten to solve simultaneous equations, so my quick prior knowledge check turned into an off-the-cuff revision session.
The importance of trust
At the most recent Maths Conference in London, I spent one session sitting at a table with three NQTs, and was asked by one of them what my "top tips" were for surviving their NQT year. For a bit of context, I've now been teaching for six years if you include my GTP year, which I do, as I was thrown in the deep end with my own classes and found that year very challenging. As a result, I found my NQT year relatively straightforward, as I wasn't in the position that many new teachers are: suddenly having to take on sole responsibility for the classes in front of me.
It still baffles me a little bit that people would ask me for advice, as I still consider myself a fairly "new" teacher, but I did my best with a few bits of advice. There are far more comprehensive guides on the Internet - I'd recommend checking out TM4T's NQT guide, which has some fantastic tips for time management. Furthermore, I found it much more useful talking to colleagues working in my school for advice on how they manage day-to-day teaching, as every setting is different, and every school will have different policies and procedures that need to be followed.
Regardless, I thought a small series of "Tips for NQTs" might be a good use of some of my SBPC posts, if only to remind myself of the fundamentals of my teaching practice before September. Today's is probably my most important tip:
Establish good relationships and trust from the first lesson
Mix Match
A great quick activity to get pupils out of their seats; this works particularly well at the end of a lesson for an exit activity and can be used for most topics.
Pass the Problem
This is a great way to get pupils collaborating in the classroom and focusing on the steps to solve problems.
I discovered algebra tiles last year when, in a fit of desperation, I took to the Internet to find a good way of teaching completing the square in a way that might actually get it to stick in the heads of my Year 11s.
Top ten tips for Tarsia
I love using Tarsia puzzles - they're great for getting the pupils talking about their maths. If you're not sure what I'm on about, start off by popping over to Hermitech Labs to get a copy of the Formulator Tarsia software, then have a look at the premade ones that Craig Barton has collected on his site. Here are my top tips for getting the most out of Tarsia puzzles!
1. Use them three times
For topics such as linear sequences, I dig out the same Tarsia puzzle three times. For example, I would start off with a lesson on generating sequences, and get pupils to generate each sequence from the nth term rule and complete the puzzle that way. A couple of lessons down the line, after teaching finding the nth term rule, I then get the puzzle out again and get pupils to do it backwards. After a couple of weeks, I then get them to do it a third time, working in either direction, for revision. This is great for loads of topics with reverse processes, such as expanding/factorising and conversion between fractions/decimals.
2. Differentiate them
This is a tip from a colleague that goes a long way to making Tarsia much more accessible! Before reproducing the Tarsia puzzle, put a small dot in the centre of the "middle" pieces. This allows you to differentiate by either a) only handing out the centre of the puzzle first (thus helping those pupils who get overwhelmed by all the pieces), or b) giving them an idea of where to start with a complete puzzle.
3. Make a poster
Print disposable sets on paper; they make very attractive revision posters! I still have one that a group of Year 7s did in my NQT year somewhere - I got the pupils to write explanations for a few examples around the outside.
4. Make it permanent
Print a copy of the "Table" tab, then Tippex over the answers, or block out electronically before printing. Copy one per pupil and you have a worksheet they can record their answers on if you (or they) want a permanent copy of their work.
5. Put a mistake in
One mistake works well, two is OK but more than that gets a little unmanageable. Challenge pupils to complete the puzzle, then tell you where the mistakes are, and correct at the end. I've done this accidentally on purpose a couple of times when I haven't checked my answers properly before photocopying a class set.
6. Pupils make their own
If pupils finish a puzzle, I hand them a page of blanks, then get them to create their own resource. They love doing this, and there's the added bonus that you get a few puzzles for free!
7. Have a competition
Once pupils are fairly proficient with a topic, encourage mastery and quick working by challenging the class to a timed competition (great board timer here). For particularly competitive groups, "Beat the Teacher" is always a favourite.
8. Enhance literacy skills
Keyword matches are a great use of Tarsia puzzles. Pupils could be given words and a brief definition or example (e.g. factor / number which divides exactly with no remainder), or a gap-fill (e.g. remainder / a factor is a number which divides exactly into another number with no ).
9. To edge or not to edge
After a few years of doing Tarsia puzzles, I'm leaning towards puzzles that don't have questions along the edges. Although problems on edges make the puzzle more complicated to solve, I think this puts a lot of pupils off - if they accidentally pick four or five edge pieces to start with, then can't find the solutions, it can get quite disheartening and you spend a lot of time dealing with "I can't find this one". It's a personal choice, but I think plain edges are better for everyone involved.
10. Tell other departments about them!
In most schools I've worked in so far, Tarsia puzzles seem confined to the Maths department. However, a quick Google suggests that there are some schools using them creatively in other departments; a great example is in MfL for vocabulary learning.
Rally Coach
The emphasis is on peer coaching and using independent learning skills (e.g. prior knowledge or notes from previous lessons). It takes a bit of training to get them doing this properly, but it's worth doing. The first few times I run a rally coach with a new class, I get them asking me straight away rather than each other - I just refuse to answer until they get the message! Once we've done it a few times, I tell students to put deliberate mistakes in if they think their partner isn't fully engaged and listening to what they're saying.

Global Shipments Of Touch-Screen Panels To Double By 2016: IHS
Global shipments of touchscreen panels are projected to double by 2016, reaching nearly 3 billion units as a wide variety of products, including smartphones, tablets and even notebook PCs, are adopting the technology.
According to the IHS DisplayBank "Touch Panel Issue and Cost/Industry Analysis Report," as many as 2.8 billion touchscreen panels will ship in 2016, up from 1.3 billion in 2012. In 2013, the shipments are expected to increase 34 percent, reaching a total of 1.8 billion units.
"Growth in the touchscreen market will be driven by increasing penetration in markets beyond the smartphone and tablet businesses," Duke Yi, senior manager for display components and materials research at IHS, said in a statement.
"Demand so far has largely been limited to these two markets. However, touchscreen sales are increasing dramatically across a broad range of products, particularly notebook PCs."
Apart from smartphones, tablets, notebooks and PCs, other products like LCD monitors, digital still cameras, portable navigation devices, portable media players, portable game devices, automobiles, ebook readers, camcorders, digital photo frames and portable DVD players are also expected to see growth in penetration of touchscreen technology over the next three years.
Although the size of these markets can vary widely, IHS believes that their aggregate growth will help the touchscreen market expand in the coming years.
The data indicate that global shipments of notebook PCs featuring touchscreen displays will rise to 78 million units in 2016, up from just 4.6 million in 2012. By 2016, notebooks will account for 12.3 percent of global touchscreen shipments by area, up from less than 2 percent in 2012.
Given that prices for touch-enabled notebooks are declining, touchscreens are becoming more affordable for mainstream consumer notebook PC buyers. The design of notebooks is also evolving to suit the touch technology better, the report added.

Intro to Art, Semester 1 Caici Barnhart
I took Intro to Art because I wanted a class that wouldn't add to my work load. I expected this course to be my "easy class". Although, Intro to Art is my hardest class. I expected to learn a few techniques to help my artwork look better, not specific step by step strategies.

Before purchasing the bed the person should bear in mind the place of the sleeping. They have to endure in their bed if they purchase the bed, which doesn't support the sleeping style of the body. They cannot sleep nicely in their own bed and pain due to their body. Deciding erroneous bed will result in discomfort and sleeplessness.
While buying bedding with a budget you should think what all the issues they are faced within their old bed. If they prevent the problems by buying correct bed, they can love their slumber. Otherwise, they cannot have a good sleep and they must suffer from their body pain.
Enormous comfort supplying lots of health benefits to mattresses
Mattresses are very essential for every individual choosing the right kind of mattress is very hard for them. A great mattress will provide tons of sleep in night, which will be beneficial to health that is appropriate. Most of individuals are facing the issue of lack of sleep, which affects their well-being if they didn't get great sleep. Now a day's mattresses play a dominant role for sleep because a comfortable mattress can give good sleep at nighttime. There are different designs and kinds of mattresses are offered in market deciding on the best kind of mattresses is more important. Man who decides to purchase a mattress that is new they need to hunt the availability of mattress in the marketplace and what are the characteristics for that mattress. They could choose the correct one, which can be beneficial to their health if they understand the options that come with the mattress. Before purchasing the mattress person desire to think their sleeping position. Mattresses that are specific are not bad for specific types of slumber.
One of the mattresses, latex is not worst
Latex mattresses are made from natural rubber and folks who are fans of natural product can buy these latex mattresses. It is very soft and durable so it can be used for mattresses, it is popular in market, and it used by a lot of people all around the world. Through the use of the latex mattress, people can enjoy many health benefits. The latex mattresses are very soft, the entire body will sink directly into the mattresses, and more pressure is avoided by it for shoulder and hip. Thus, those who have the habit of side sleeping it are good to purchase the latex mattresses. The pressure points also relieve and it is not bad for side sleepers but that is popular and never permanent.
People can enjoy sleep in latex mattresses
Most of the people are suffer from dearth of sleep as they're not picking the proper sort of bed, which comforts their slumber. Since they're giving most of the pressure for shoulder and their hip particularly side sleepers are confronting the problem of dearth of sleep. They feel pain in their hip and shoulder due to pressure that is high. They are put more effort in finding the appropriate kind of mattresses, which suit their fashion that is sleep. After the invention of latex mattresses it is a blessing for the side sleeper mattress they can appreciate their sleep with no disturbance and pain.

Hey friends, I've NEVER seen this shared anywhere before but I know other people are using this method for SEO purposes.. especially on .edu and .gov sites. Feedback on this method is much appreciated. If you guys like it I have another one which is kind of similar but possibly even more powerful You can use this method to get links on all kinds of sites that would be impossible otherwise. I'm still not sure the value of these links but most of them are D0F0LL0W Anyways on to an example: Go to this link Now enter into the search box your HTML link... Code: free backlink Then on top of that you can enter in all kinds of SEO optimized text after that backlink including keywords etc. Example With SEO Text And Keywords As you can see I kept it short but I could have inserted an entire article with MULTIPLE BACKLINKS with VARYING ANCHOR TEXTS. Example With Multiple Links Now what you can do is clean up the URL and strip out all the useless tags. Example get rid of: "&restrict=false&language=english&partnerurl=¬symptom=&" etc then reload the link to make sure it still works. After that you can use the URL in SEO blogs and around the internet to get it indexed and pass some link juice through it! Just be careful what kind of characters you put into the search box, some things like
 seemed to freeze the site or something when I tried to load it in. This doesn't work for every site, in fact most I've come across you can't get the link with anchor text. Usually you can at least get a plain link. It's just a matter of playing around on multiple sites to find good targets. Disclaimer: this might be classified as SQL inj3ction I have no idea lol. So do it at your own risk! Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Hopefully some will find this useful! Cheers

Case Description:A Virginia Beach, VA college student suffered a connective tissue injury when the car in which she was riding was struck by a drunk driver.
What Happened: Our client was a college student in her early 20s. She was a passenger in a car that was struck by a drunk driver in Virginia Beach. The at-fault driver was given a blood alcohol content test by the police and registered a BAC, of 0.17. That is more than double the legal limit of 0.08 for intoxication in Virginia, and it also exceeds the statuatory BAC of 0.15 for evidence that triggers an automatic case for claiming punitive damages from a DUI driver who has injured or killed someone while driving under the influence of alcohol. Our client suffered connective tissue injuries to her spine that were treated by family doctors, an orthopaedist and physical therapists. Luckily, she had made a fairly good recovery. Her medical bills were approximately $3,000.
Key Legal Strategy: The insurance company was not offering fair compensation for the injury, especially given the aggravated liability of the drunk driver. We moved the case toward trial and retained an expert toxicologist to prove how the at-fault driver's level of intoxication impairs a (drunk) driver of a vehicle. Ultimately, the insurance company was forced to honor its obligation, and a favorable settlement was reached.
The Result: The injured woman received a cash settlement of $19,000, which the at-fault driver's insurance company agreed to before the case went to trial.
Court and Date: Virginia Beach Circuit Court, VA, May 2005
Staff: John C., Personal Injury Attorney; Theresa L. Martin, Paralegal; Vera VanOverstraeten, Legal Assistant

Family Vacations at Gulf Shores
If you have kids and are planning a vacation you are no doubt searching for "Family Vacation Ideas" or "Kid Friendly" housing, entertainment, restaurants and activities. As many parents will tell you, the quality of a family vacation is often determined by the most disgruntled or "bored" member of the family. A good plan of attack is a destination that has activities that appeal to kids of all ages, and a hospitality industry that knows how to do more than just tolerate young guests.
When it comes to family vacations, we think that Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, Alabama is your ideal destination because vacationing here provides the solution to three key dilemmas that you must solve to make your whole family happy:
- Finding a great place to stay
- Identifying kid-friendly restaurants
- Discovering fun activities that will appeal to everyone in your family
When all is said and done, we don't end up taking family beach vacations for the hotel room, or the meals, although those can make a trip memorable. We go on family vacations in search of great quality time with our family. The activities that fill your days will define your trip. Be sure to pick activities your kids like. If your kids are energetic and least happy when they are sitting still, a trip to a museum really isn't going to cut it. But renting a go-kart or Jet Ski will probably be a homerun! If you want to sneak a bit of education into the trip, that's great, but we recommend a walking tour of a wildlife park.
With all this in mind, we are convinced that you can have an exceptional Gulf Shores family vacation. Check out our Gulf Shores rentals and Gulf Shores condos for some ideas on where to stay, or venture a little further up the beach and spend a fun family vacation at one of our Orange Beach rentals.

Mediterranean Shores
October 11th-20th, 2018 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Limited Availability
Nothing in the world conjures up more romantic and beautiful images than the Mediterranean. Azure waters, white sands, mountain villages, and year-round sunshine combine to create a mood of tranquility and contentment that is truly irresistible. Beginning in Barcelona, we then cross the Spanish/French border, stopping at the ancient walled city of Carcassonne en route, and on into Provence, a region that intoxicates with its light and landscapes. From our base in Arles we explore the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Ancient hilltop villages beckon to be explored and a day in Avignon allows us to dance sur le pont! Our final stay is in elegant Nice, jewel of the Cote d'Azur, a city whose greatest charm is itself: the avenues, squares, markets, shops, and cafes that create an unforgettable buzz of sophistication and excitement.
*This is a guaranteed departure with limited space, please call to check current availability!*
Thanksgiving in Mallorca
November 16th-24th, 2018 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
This trip has been specifically designed to avoid the tourists and take in the culture of this multifaceted island! In November the weather is still warm, and the historical sites will be blessedly free of tour buses. Our base is the fabulous Gran Hotel in the historic town of Soller, set in the beautiful Tramontana Mountains. Soller is accessible to the capital, Palma, by a wonderful antique electric train that affords incredible views as it weaves up through the mountains and out the other side. We'll celebrate Thanksgiving Mallorcan style with slow-roasted lamb at a very special restaurant up in the mountains. This year don't spend all day in the kitchen. If you like your relatives, bring them along - if you don't, leave them to it and join us for fun in the sun on an island paradise! Join our most popular tour guide, Gavin Miller, who will take us to many very special places on this beautiful island that he calls home.
Barcelona & Mallorca: A Homage to Catalonia
April 11th-20th, 2019 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
We begin in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, and Spain's most visually striking city. As Rose Macaulay wrote sixty years ago, in The Fabled Shore, "…it gives an impression of tempestuous, surging, irrepressible life and brio." It remains true today. We'll spend our days exploring the Barri Gotic, the very heart of Barcelona, her outstanding museums and architecture, and take an excursion up the Costa Brava in search of Salvador Dali. Finally, a 4-night stay on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca concludes the trip with a welcome change of pace as we explore hidden villages and monasteries, winding lanes and quiet corners. From the mountains of the northwest to the fertile central plain, there is an abundance of historical and artistic treasure to occupy the discerning visitor. And of course, beautiful beaches that have made the island a haven for European tourists seeking the summer sun.
A Pilgrim's Way: Following the camino de santiago from bilbao to santiago de compostela
June 6th-15th, 2019 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
Join Discover Europe's Gavin Miller and explore the ancient route of the Camino de Santiago in northwest Spain. Also known as The Pilgrim's Way or Way of St. James, it has been travelled a foot by those seeking redemption since AD 1085. Starting in Bilboa where we will go to the stunning Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Gehry; we will stay in hotels right along the path to get an idea of what life is like walking the Camino. With visits to the beautiful stained glass cathedral in Leon, Gaudi's The Bishop's Palace, and Cebreiro, a traditional Galician mountain settlement with pallozas (thatched houses), we will wind our way to Santiago where present day pilgrims celebrate the end to their 500 mile journey, with swollen feet and big smiles.

Kiribati civil registration and vital statistics report
This report presents statistics on live births, deaths and the causes of death in Kiribati for 2012 to 2014. The statistics are based on administrative data provided by the Health Information Unit (HIU) of the Ministry of Health (MoH) and, in a few instances, the Civil Registration Office (CRO). The availability of statistical measures related to births and deaths enable decision-makers to acquire a detailed picture of the nation's current fertility and mortality situation. In Kiribati, these measures have been provided by census collections and through periodic surveys such as the Demographic and Health Survey. While these remain important primary collections for population data, this report underlines the potential role that administrative records play in supplementing this information, even where systems are not complete.

Jive Customers Speak: The Impacts of Jive-x
Schneider Electric, GE Healthcare, National Instruments, Riverbed, EMC, Tableau Software, T-Mobile, and Hitachi Data Systems describe how Jive-x communities deliver huge gains in customer service and satisfaction, partner engagement and operating efficiencies.
Jive-x Customer Testimonial Transcript
Schneider Electric
Jive is fundamentally our new normal. It's about how we approach customers, and clients, and partners in a totally different way to transform a digital customer experience that is unlike any other, and that has Jive at the center of it.
GE Healthcare
It's a one-stop-shop for our customers to be able to find the information that they need to connect with their peers, and to ask questions from GE.
National Instruments
They can share code, they can share ideas.
It's a real, true community. It really brings together the concept of people, and content, and places, not just discussion forums.
Customers, partners, prospects and employees, all collaborating on Jive.
GE Healthcare
It's reduced the amount of service calls we get into our call center, it's created a sense of community for our customers, and it's really helped simplify our IT portfolio in a way that we never imagined we'd be able to do.
National Instruments
Millions of dollars in savings to call deflections.
Hundreds of answered questions in a given week or a month, you know, over the years, thousands of deflected support calls.
We've seen our CSAT on our web increase 30 percent, which translates into customers that are happy with us, they're staying with us. Our call deflection rates have improved significantly as well, around 40 percent.
Hitachi Data Systems
The Jive platform certainly has made our customer service organization more efficient, therefore we don't have to expand our headcount in line with the growth of our business.
We, before, had 80 people involved in the content creation and publishing process. We've been able to reduce that by about 70 percent, saving us about around $8 million in a three year period.
Schneider Electric
From the partner perspective, allowing those folks to sell in country in an incredibly effective manner because they're all connected inside the community. Events, education, all that happens directly inside the community.
National Instruments
We also see an impact on the marketing side, where customers that are more active in our community are more likely to repeat purchase, purchase new products and ultimately refer NI to their colleagues.
A highly loyal, a high value customer base actively engaged in our brand that helps us grow revenue, shorten the sale cycle and improve overall costs of ownership. We've delivered a growing community with our membership rate, clipping a 20 percent annual growth rate, and we've delivered a community that is advocating on the behalf of EMC brand, delivering upwards of eight percent of share-of-voice in the marketplace.
All the things we wanted to do, quickly and easily build groups without having to engage web developers, use the ideas module in order to get product feedback so that our developers can build a more solid and better product. Gamification, incentivizing customers who wanted to be more engaged with us, to help other customers, all those things became possible for someone like me, without a deep development background, to do in a day-to-day job.
The level of flexibility and adaptability of Jive to replicate what we're trying to accomplish with our community members is truly amazing.
It helps us understand what our customers are saying about our brand, it helps us engage with our customers, it helps us resolve their issues. It truly is a pivotal component of our strategy.

Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated, "I don't know enough about the technology" during an answer on encryption during Saturday's Democratic presidential debate on ABC.
Hillary said that she didn't want to force tech companies to give law enforcement a key to encrypted technology, adding, "I would hope that given the extraordinary capacities that the tech community has, and the legitimate needs and questions from law enforcement, that there could be a Manhattan-like Project, something that would bring the government and the tech communities together to see they're not adversaries, they've got to be partners. It doesn't do anybody any good if terrorists can move toward encrypted communication that no law enforcement agency can break into before or after, there must be some way. I don't know enough about the technology Martha, to be able to say what it is."

Todd steps down
President of the United Racehorse Trainers' Association, Richard Todd, has decided to step down from the top post and a new president will be elected on Tuesday, September 16.
Todd has served as president from the inception of the United Trainers' Association (URTA) four years ago.
He cited the unsatisfactory state of the racing industry for calling it a day.
Todd said he is so frustrated by the day-to-day running of the industry by the Jamaica Racing Commission and Caymanas Track Limited, among others, that it's time for someone else to take over the reins of the association.
The annual general meeting of the URTA will be held in the Trainers' Room on Tuesday, starting at 10 a.m.
The main item on the agenda is the election of officers. Sources close to the association say trainer Dale Murphy is the front runner for president.

Could fatty tumors in dogs be a blessing in disguise? They're ugly, they're gross but they're giving you a very clear signal that it's time to do something. And doing the right thing now could add years to your dog's life.
In today's Dog Talk Tuesday, I'm going to explain what a fatty tumor is made of, how it gets there and why it's where it is.
The next step is entirely up to you.
(Not sure what a fatty tumor is? I'll describe it later in the page.)
Here's a basic description:
Think of them as free floating globs of trash.
Here is a fatty tumor on the dog I talked about in the video. He got three of them over the course of 5 years. The fourth was cancerous and he died.
The point here is it doesn't happen overnight but it's a clear warning that something is wrong and you have the ability to do something about it by improving dog health with the right foods and supplements.
So if you're worried about what people will say; if you hate looking at it; you can choose to have it cut out. Your dog will look better on the outside while his liver works at filtering out the regular toxins plus the drugs from the surgery. A healthy dog should be able to detoxify the use of those one time drugs out in about 3 weeks.
To see what Nature's Sunshine supplements often work to break down those ugly lumps, you can find those three items on my page called Canine Lipoma.
If you want to do the best for your dog for prevention please
Home › Dog Talk Tuesday › Fatty Tumors in Dogs
Please note: To avoid frustration for both of us . . .
There are many references to NSP products throughout this website. I sell them. It has taken years to pinpoint the correct combination of Nature's Sunshine Products along with the correct amount.
You must purchase those products through me in order to get those amounts. If you are in Canada you must order through Sandra King's NSP website .
In your order confirmation email you will see one of us along with our personal email address for your convenience.
Thank you so much for your trust & understanding.

Critic Reviews for The Lodger
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (19) | DVD (2)
The cast works hard to make you believe they believe what the screenwriter tells them to believe. But in the end, it all seems contrived and silly.
This strained, empty effort doesn't work as homage or update, and in its darkly violent sensibility has neither the glamour of Brian De Palma's referential nightmares or even the narrative fuel of the serial-killer-obsessed procedurals that dominate tv.
Filled with second-rate Brian DePalma twists, noirishly blurred lights and usually solid actors mouthing potboiler brine, The Lodger resembles bottom-shelf '80s dreck.
A good cast can't save The Lodger, the utterly wrongheaded fourth movie version of a 1910 novel inspired by Jack the Ripper that was most famously filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1926.
What needed to be a taut, structurally sound psychothriller instead malfunctions from the start.
The Lodger is a spooky story ruined by lumpen dialogue, cloddish performances and a director and writer (David Ondaatje) oblivious to both.
Audience Reviews for The Lodger
A clever well-made and suspenseful updated remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film classic of the same name. It concerns a mentally troubled Landlady, played by Hope Davis in a beautifully realized performance who lives a quiet dull life with her husband and young son, one rainy day a handsome and mysterious stranger, played superbly by Simon Baker shows up at her door, wanting to rent her guesthouse, his arrival coincides with a series of brutal murders of young prostitutes off West Hollywood. Alfred Molina plays a obsessive police detective with a strong conviction and believability, it is a terrific portrayal he is determine to catch this copycat killer who murders his victims in the same fashion as the legendary serial killer Jack the Ripper, Shane West is excellent as Molina's rookie partner, there also are superlative supporting performances by Rachael Leigh Cook, Philip Baker Hall, Mel Harris, Rebecca Pidgeon and John Hammil. Solid direction by David Ondaatje, who's screenplay does a great job of keeping you guessing right to the very end, that has a surprisingly good double twist of an ending that is a real killer. The film has a haunting visual quality thanks to the exceptional cinematography by David A. Armstrong, and a moody score by John Fizzell that is perfect. A worth-while and marvelously entertaining chiller. Highly Recommended.

You can find many variations of these crackers on the internet, as folks adapt it to their tastes. As far as low-carb eating goes, this is a pure beauty. They are:
- sugar-, wheat-, grain-, and gluten-free;
- rich in fiber, fat, and protein;
- lend itself perfectly to spread your butter on;
- fit in Paleo, Keto, and LCHF;
- crispy and chewy at the same time;
- very simple to make, as they require no specific appliances.
As far as I could track it (and I am ready to stand corrected), it appeared first in The Real Meal Revolution by Tim Noakes. Below is my adaptation; I have marked the changes I made to the original, so if you want a less flavored version, you can always fall back on the more plain variation. The quantities are adjusted for my 11″ x 14″ baking tray. Also, these are on a salty side; decrease salt if prefer less of it.
Crackers on a plate (with some butter, of course):
Wheat-Free Crispy Crackers Recipe

- 1 Tbsp psyllium husks
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp cinnamon (my add – V.G)
- juice from 1/2 lemon (my add – V.G.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Congress approved an increase in the country's debt limit through March 2015, bowing to President Barack Obama's demands to extend federal borrowing authority without conditions, but only after a dramatic Senate vote on Wednesday.
Final action in the Senate followed an hour-long nail-biting procedural tally forced by the objections of Republican Ted Cruz, a conservative Tea Party favorite. It appeared at first there would not be enough Republicans to join the Democratic majority and advance the bill.

Ok, here she goes again...
another rescue, another backyard breeder, I'm afraid.
Long story short, (Well, short story short!)
Lady comes in for grooming on her dog, sees my horse pics in my shop, starts up a conversation about this "Free Colt" she's trying to get rid of... Has 3 horses, just bought another Fresian, has to get rid of the colt, blah blah blah. Said his original breeder was going to put him down, because he has an arthritic right hock, but, they had x-rays, and it's starting to fuse, he's not lame, runs around just fine. (Not halter broke, gelded, dewormed, or vaccinated either, but I'll just rant on for 2 more pages there....)
So, curiosity got me again, now I have a new yearling QH colt. Meet "Jake".
Yea, he needs his feet done, doing it tomorrow, along with vaccinations and dewormer.
(BTW, he leads just fine, when you actually put a halter ON him...she said she HAD one for him, but she put it on wrong, and he broke it. Still trying to figure THAT out!)
So, anyone ever had a colt this young with arthritis? All I've found so far, is it's possible with oversupplementation as they grow, poor conformation(His seems ok, other than never having hooves trimmed, & being LARGE for a qh colt, will be a year on April 13th) Good news is, Vet says,"Without looking at him yet, I can say that once it's totally fused, he won't have any pain, and can be a useable trail horse, PROBABLY."
Thanks Guys!

Control Environment
The control environment includes the governance and management functions and the attitudes, awareness, and actions of those charged with governance and management concerning the entitys internal control and its importance in the entity. The control environment sets the tone of an organization, influencing the control consciousness of its people.
The control environment encompasses the following elements:
(i) Communication and Enforcement of Integrity and Ethical Values:
The effectiveness of controls cannot rise above the integrity and ethical values of the people who create, administer, and monitor them. Integrity and ethical behavior is the product of the entitys ethical and behavioral standards, how they are communicated, and how they are reinforced in practice. The enforcement of integrity and ethical values includes, for example,
1- Management actions to eliminate or mitigate incentives or temptations that might prompt personnel to engage in dishonest, illegal, or unethical acts.
2- The communication of entity policies on integrity and ethical values may include the communication of behavioral standards to personnel through policy statements and codes of conduct and by example.
(ii) Commitment to Competence:
Competence is the knowledge and skills necessary to accomplish tasks that define the individuals job. Matters such as managements consideration of the competence levels for particular jobs and how those levels translate intro requisite skills and knowledge.
(iii) Participation by Those Charged with Governance:
An entitys control consciousness is influenced significantly by those charged with governance. The importance of the responsibilities of those charged with governance is recognized in codes of practice and other laws and regulations or guidance produced for the benefit of those charged with governance. Other responsibilities of those charged with
governance include oversight of the design and effective operation of whistle-blower procedures and the process for reviewing the effectiveness of the entitys internal control.
(iv) Managements Philosophy and Operating Style:
Managements philosophy and operating style encompass a broad range of characteristics. For example, Managements attitudes and actions toward financial reporting may manifest themselves through conservative or aggressive selection from available alternative accounting principles, or conscientiousness and conservatism with which accounting estimates are developed.
(v) Organizational Structure:
The frame-work, within which an entitys activities for achieving its objectives are planned, executed, controlled, and reviewed. Establishing a relevant organizational structure includes considering key areas of authority and responsibility and appropriate lines of reporting. The appropriateness of an entitys organizational structure depends, in part, on its size and the nature of its activities.
(vi) Assignment of Authority and Responsibility:
Matters such as how authority and responsibility for operating activities are assigned and how reporting relationships and authorization hierarchies are established. The assignment of authority and responsibility may include
1- Policies relating to appropriate business practices, knowledge and experience of key personnel, and resources provided for carrying out duties.
2- Policies and communications directed at ensuring that all personnel understand the entitys objectives, know how their individual actions interrelate and contribute to those objectives, and recognize how and for what they will be held accountable.
(vii)Human Resource Policies and Practices:
Human resource policies and practices often demonstrate important matters in relation to the control consciousness of an entity. For example,
1- Standards for recruiting the most qualified individuals – with emphasis on educational background, prior work experience, past accomplishments, and evidence of integrity and ethical behavior – demonstrate an entitys commitment to competent and trustworthy people.
2- Training policies that communicate prospective roles and responsibilities and include practices such as training schools and seminars illustrate expected levels of performance and behavior.
3- Promotions driven by periodic performance appraisals demonstrate the entitys commitment to the advancement of qualified personnel to higher levels of responsibility.

|Richard A. Goldberg, Goddard Space Flight Center
|Coupling Between the Upper and Lower Atmospheres: The Electrical Connection
President Spargo called the 2019th meeting to order at 8:15 p.m. on December 3, 1993. The Recording Secretary read the minutes of the 2018th meeting and they were approved.
The speaker for the 2019th meeting was Richard A. Goldberg of the Goddard Space Flight Center, and the title of his talk was Coupling Between the Upper and Lower Atmospheres: The Electrical Connection.
Mr. Goldberg opened his very enthusiastic talk by describing the historical view of the electrical circuits in the Earth's atmosphere. He indicated that our environment is highly charged, with the upper atmosphere acting as an infinite conductor, and the circuit between the upper and lower atmospheres being a DC circuit. The electric potential between the upper and lower atmospheres results in about 2000 thunders storms at any one time around the world. Research in the 1920s and '30s showed that the: electrical potential between the upper and lower atmospheres typically increased in the afternoon over continents. More recent weather satellite data has supported this hypothesis by showing that most thunderstorms do occur primarily over continents and in the afternoon.
Since the upper atmosphere is viewed as an infinite conductor, magnetic fields external to the Earth's upper atmosphere should not affect electrical parameters in the lower atmosphere. However, data has not supported this view. Electrical parameters measured in the lower atmosphere have been affected by the sun spot cycle, the Sun's rotating magnetic field, and solar flares. The affect attributed to the sun spot cycle may be the result of solar cosmic rays that increase as sun spot activity decreases. The cosmic rays produce ion pairs in the atmosphere but solar radiation tends to have little effect below an altitude of 70 kilometers. The effects of these outside disturbances are easy to see in the upper atmosphere. The Northern Lights are an example. The effects in the lower atmosphere are not easily observed.
Scientists use a number of methods to measure electromagnetic parameters at various altitudes. Near the Earth's surface in the troposphere, sounders and airplanes easily collect data. Instrumented balloons reach into the stratosphere above an altitude of 18 kilometers. In both of these regions, data can be collected continuously over a lengthy period of time. Above 50 kilometers, these methods do not work, and rockets are needed to reach these altitudes. However, the rockets do not stay aloft long so that the data collected is only instantaneous. A number of data points are achieved by firing a campaign of rockets sequentially. The rockets deploy an instrumented sphere with booms.
Rocket data has shown that the vertical electric field tends to maximize in strength at an altitude of about 65 kilometers. Upsets in the field have magnitudes in the range of a volt per meter when the typical electric field has a magnitude of about a millivolt per meter.
Mr. Goldberg also showed some film of some unusual observations, including upward lightning and airglows in the upper atmosphere just before a lightning flash during the Midwest storms of the past summer. Atmosphere potential has been observed to vary with cosmic ray activity as well as volcano particulate ejection. Mr. Goldberg indicated that the new model of the coupling between the upper and lower atmospheres is an AC circuit, complete with transients. Mr. Goldberg then kindly responded to questions from the audience.
The President thanked the speaker for the Society. The Vice President announced five new members. The President then announced the next meeting, made the usual parking announcement, and adjourned the 2019th meeting to the Social Hour at 9:43 p.m.
|Respectfully submitted,
|Alan Russell
|Recording Secretary
